It is a special ruler to make the Hunter's Star block. Google Deb Tucker Hunter's Star and you'll find some YouTube videos. There are 2 sizes, each sold separately. Each makes several block sizes, Petite does 5, 6, 7, and 8" finished blocks; large does 7, 8, 9, and 10" finished blocks (so the Large is for bed-size quilts)
Deb's method involves a little bit of waste in that you trim the sub-parts using the ruler, but you end up with perfectly matched points.
You don't need special rulers to make this quilt, and there's a recent discussion about the best way to make it. A number of us prefer this ruler method and some folks like traditional or paper piecing it.
